Any games where a remaster could never stack up to the original.

Inspired by this post, asking the opposite, what games do you think are worthy of a remaster: https://lemmy.ml/post/6091201

I just want great ports, like what iD Software has done with Doom and Quake. I don't care about updated visuals as long as I can play my favorite games in 1080p with modern controls.

Ironically, the Doom and Quake versions you can buy now are essentially remakes. The artwork is the same but the backend code is completely redone. Modern official Doom ports now run in Unity.

Get Zanondrum and the official Doom and Doom 2 WADs, slap Brutal Doom on top and enjoy.

I thought GZDoom was better for singleplayer? I prefer to use Crispy Doom though since I love vanilla but not MS-DOS era vanilla ;_;

Just my preference. Absolutely nothing wrong with GzDoom. :)
